I'm American bro, but I have plenty of friends from other countries that have been to different states and loved it. Including an old tough son of a bitch British para trooper who's been all the way up the east coast and says he loves going to the states. (I was in an international program and met various people from different countries).

it's because it got more media coverage, and it got more media coverage because drone strikes look bad, but also because (not without reason) most people prioritize events in their own nation over other nations

Wars go on, and people die, and we have to stand on the sides we think are right. To keep searching for the truth and know that all of human life is sacred, not just those of your country, or someone else's.

An 8 year old can hold a weapon. Not even something that makes the Taliban uniquely ****** up. People think 18 is young for a 1st world soldier, 3rd world armies kidnap and indoctrinate child soldiers everyday.

No one will ever care about something that doesn't affect them directly, it's a human nature.

Just look at most comment here. They don't give a single **** about what happen with the others. They just keep wandering around with their sad little life while trying to relieve their stress in FJ. And when something bad happens (i.e. the death of the loved ones), they make a feel post/story here, expecting someone to care with them.

One of the most important rule in society is : when you don't care with the others, no one would care to you. So don't be pissed the **** out when no one cares with your sadness.

That is ******* beautiful dude. I wish I could see a day where we people in America actually come to terms with the fact that we need to start caring more about things in countries like that. Sadly it will never happen.
